(2)An instrument of revocation that expressly revokes all or a part of the recorded or filed transfer on death deed; or

(3)An inter vivos deed that expressly revokes all or a part of the transfer on death deed.

(b)If a transfer on death deed is executed by more than one transferor:

(1)Revocation by one transferor does not affect the deed as to the interest of another transferor; and
